Hi all. Just wondering what your thoughts are on using river bottom sediment for fertilizer or in compost. I work at a facility that draws water from a river in PA. Before we treat or use the water, it goes through strainer basket/socks to collect solids. This contains some nice stuff...freshwater muscle shells, dead crayfish, silt and other sediment. My thinking is that this would make great ... something for my hop garden. I'm not sure if i should add it to my compost or just layer on my garden and work it into the soil. Any ideas?
